Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Any ideas on speeding up HTML::TableExtract? I have large single level tables that I'm extracting and this part is taking 3 minutes per table on a P4 2GH processor.
my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new; $te->parse($html);
Any ideas on how to speed it up besides getting a faster computer? The only thing I can think of is to stop using HTML::TableExtract and use regular expressions.
